Veneers
Tucson, AZ

A crown, often called a “cap,” restores a damaged tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are usually needed when:

• A tooth has a large filling or has been fractured
• There’s not enough tooth left to hold a filling
• A root canal has made the tooth more fragile

Crowns match the color of your natural teeth and can cover the whole tooth or just a portion, depending on your needs.

This smile enhancement treatment typically involves a few appointments. Here is what you can expect during the procedure:

1. Initial Consultation: We evaluate your oral health, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine if this is the right solution.
2. Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed to make space for the tooth surface restorations.
3. Impression & Customization: We take impressions of your teeth and send them to a lab to craft your custom tooth coverings.
4. Placement: Once your permanent dental facades are ready, they are securely bonded to your teeth and adjusted for the perfect fit.

When considering full mouth veneers Tucson or a partial enhancement, understanding your options is key:

• Porcelain: Highly durable, stain-resistant, and offers the most natural-looking results.
• Composite: More affordable and applied in a single visit, but may not last as long as porcelain.
• No-Prep: Minimal tooth preparation and great for patients with mild cosmetic concerns.

Our dental team will help you decide which type of dental facades is ideal for your specific needs and budget.

Porcelain shells remain the most popular choice due to their superior aesthetic and functional benefits. Patients seeking this option love them because they:

• Provide a natural, translucent appearance
• Resist staining from coffee, tea, and tobacco
• Offer long-term durability (often lasting 10–15 years)
• Require minimal tooth structure removal
• Improve confidence with a flawless smile

Whether you require a few dental facades or a full set for your entire mouth, porcelain can significantly change your look.

Porcelain shells are a great option if you have:

• Worn, chipped, or broken teeth
• Severe discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening
• Uneven spacing or minor misalignment
• Desire for long-lasting, natural results

A consultation at our dental office in Tucson can help determine if permanent shells are appropriate for your oral health and cosmetic needs.

After your dental tooth coverings are placed, a few simple habits will keep them in excellent condition:

• Practice good oral hygiene (brush twice a day and floss daily)
• Avoid chewing on hard objects (like ice or pens)
• Limit stain-causing foods and drinks
• Schedule regular cleanings and exams at our dental office

With the right care, your permanent tooth coverings will preserve their beauty and functionality for years to come.
